Tweaking Your Speaker Placement


"Depending on the speakers an 1/8” move in the right way can have a significant impact."

What I am curious about is how one can verifiably move a speaker exactly 1/8th of an inch? My speakers on stands weigh about 60 pounds each and being bookshelf speakers, they are a little top heavy. They are also on IsoAcoustic Gaia's, which don't really slide too well.

How do you do it?

You have realised, of course, that it's a figure of speech -- not a literal statement? Kudos, however, for creating a discussion out of it!

Once the speakers are correctly placed in the room (i.e. they couple optimally), any slight movement has an easily perceptible sonic effect.

Since optimising speaker placement is, obviously, room dependent, I imagine we shouldn't take someone else's 1/8th move too seriously (or 1/16th for that matter)
